My Heartbreaking Memoir

Unfortunatly sometimes life throws you a curve ball, one or in our case two of them that are totally unexpected! So, I guess I will start with Rose...as mentioned in an earlier post on here she was diagnosed with precocious puberty earlier this year. We went ahead and had a surgery done on her earlier this month to help prevent any further issues and to regress her already present physical changes. We thought everything was good and great until a week ago when she started bleeding again. I assumed it was normal, but called her endocrynologist just to give him the heads up. He called me a few days later a little concerned that something else was going on and so he scheduled another hospital visit for an ultra sound and lab work. He also set up another visit with a Ped. OB, thinking that perhaps we addressed the wrong issue and that something really is going on with her ovarys. So, yesterday my Mother, Rose and I (Brian is in Russia for a trip for his MBA this week) went back to the hospital for these tests to be done. Rose had a great experience this time and the nurses that worked with her were excellent! We have our appointment on Thurs. with her OB and we will get the results then, except for that her endo called me today with not so great news from the reading on Rose's ultrasound. He said the the ultra sound doc found that where her left ovary should be there is a 4 cm tumor that the ob will be talking with me about on thurs...this also means surgery in the very near future, again, to get it taken out. We are praying that it is not cancerous. Just today Rosie started complaining about her left side hurting...I was going to wait to post anything about this but I figure we need prayers right now for us that Rosie will be able to be healed and that all of her doctors will be able to figure out everything that may be going on that shouldn't be in her body, and that they will know how to fix it! So, I thank you for your prayers for us right now!
As for curve ball #2 last thursday I went to a maternal fetal care office in the hospital because they said I may be having a baby with down syndrome and they wanted to investigate further. It turns out that I have a 1 in 6 % chance. Which after that office visit I am still not sure if the baby is downsyndrome or not because we didn't do an amniocentesis, but the specialist doctor thinks that something may be wrong with the baby's heart development and Iwill be going back in 3 weeks for a check-up. I went to my OB today and she was concerned about what the specialist had told her. Luckily the heart condition is fixable but it will be a long road. I will have to deliver downtown instead of at the hospital I was wanting to deliver at. The hospital down town is connected to the childrens hospital were the baby would be in the NICU and where pedo heart surgeons are readily available. Of course all of this is somewhat of a scientific guess right now because the baby's heart is so tiny the doctor couldn't get a great look at it. We will know for sure by the time I am 22 weeks along, until then I hold my breath! There is the optimistic approach that I am trying to take where I just believe that everything is ok with my baby and that it will be born healthy and strong on the due date...
So, this is my heartbreak right now. I will keep you updated on what is going on with Rose when I know more and also with the baby in my belly. I guess right now I just ask for prayers so we can be strong enough to handle all of this stress and worry that is now on my shoulders and on my husbands!!!
